Following a 13-year split, cult LA/Nashville combo The Ettes – guitarist/vocalist Coco Hames and drummer Maria “Poni” Silver – have reunited and released a triumphant comeback single, ‘Not At All.’

“It feels good to be back,” says frontwoman Hames. “But it’s not out of nostalgia — it’s out of artistic necessity and a real sense we had unfinished business with each other and with this music.” 

Last month, The Ettes surprise dropped their first new song since 2011 with the teaser track ‘Dangerous Girl,’ an incendiary rocker that served as a call to arms for the group’s longtime fans.

Now the band has followed with the first official track from their new recording project, the anthemic pop evocation ‘Not At All.’ The accompanying video – a surreal high-glam clip co-directed by Hames and Silver – puts a playful narrative twist on the story of their breakup and reformation, culminating in a joyous dance number.   

“Coco always says she has two left feet,” chides Silver. “But that’s actually why we decided to put a big dance routine in the video. We’re consciously forcing ourselves to do all the things that we would’ve been afraid of or too precious to try during the first run of the band.”
